Just like this, it was tense and slow, and before I knew it, it was almost noon. On the way, I encountered several groups of thieves, big and small, but they were fooled by them, and it became more and more like this. To sum up, Chang Yu The core is that as long as they behave arrogant, arrogant, and irritable, the other party will almost go through the motions without asking any more questions, and sometimes they will even bother them. The reason is simply that the other party sees that they are large in numbers, arrogant, and arrogant. First of all, He would never have thought that a soldier of the army would dare to be so blatant, and he had never seen so many soldiers dispatched together. What's more, they are vicious and will kill people if they feel they don't agree with each other. No one wants to cause trouble.
For the time being, they were able to cope with the interrogation by the bandit army, but they encountered another difficult problem. Everyone really couldn't hold it anymore. One word, sleepy! Three words, I want to sleep!
Not to mention Chang Yu and others who have been on the run for so many days, even Old Man Hui and his group are complaining endlessly.
I looked around and saw that there was a village nearby, but I felt uneasy going there to stay. After all, no family could sleep twenty people. If we were separated... there were too many unstable factors, so we had to stay in the wild.
However, the Guanzhong Plain is really flat, and it is difficult to find that special secret place with so many mountains and few rivers.
They had no choice but to do the next best thing. They found a hillock covered with thatch and reeds in the south of a village. Everyone drove their horses forward to get knives to cut the grass and lay the ground. They also picked up some firewood to light a fire for warmth, and then arranged for shifts.
But no one expected that just when everyone was cutting grass and collecting firewood to light a fire, four or five people suddenly appeared from the north. Both groups were stunned. It was obvious that the other party did not expect that there was anyone here!
The five people on the other side, with gray heads and tired faces, looked like they were traveling together. Wang Fuchen was just about to yell to scare them away, but they spoke first: "Who are you?" He drew his sword to warn them!
Blind! Wang Fuchen threw the iron sign over again, and the other party picked it up and took a look: "Hey, brothers from the Children's Camp, what are you doing here...?"
"Zhui Xizuo hasn't slept all day and night, and is preparing to make a bunk on the floor... Hey, who are you, you are questioning me?" Wang Fuchen scolded, and the other party let out a laugh: "We are from Dali, and we were ordered to be around. I’m exhausted from patrolling, so I’m going to stay here for a while.”
Dali is the administrative seat of Tongzhou, across the river from Puzhou on the other side! If the officers and soldiers launch a frontal attack, Dali will be the first to bear the brunt.
"Meeting is fate, let's get warm together." Wang Fuchen invited those people to warm themselves by the fire. He glanced at Chang Yu inadvertently, did he mean to do it right here?
Chang Yu also nodded his head without leaving a trace, and glanced at Kuang Ren and others at the same time. Everyone understood the tacit understanding between the team, even Qing Yi understood it by heart, so the group of people like Old Man Hui continued to be stupid. Very innocent, busy collecting firewood and mowing grass.
"Excuse me then." The five thieves came over and Wang Fuchen gave them some steamed buns to eat. They pretended to be casual and chatted with each other, but they were just clichés. The two sides seemed to be chatting in a very speculative way, but in fact they were testing each other.
This made Chang Yu feel a little alert. The other party didn't believe him!
With the lessons learned from the past, he did not dare to be careless again. Although he did not know where the mistake was, it was not the time to find the cause, but the time to solve the problem. He wanted to kill this unmanned person quickly, so he sent a few people to Wumu Shan He winked, but who knew that several people had just stood up, and the other party also stood up and pretended to collect firewood to add fuel to the fire, but the vigilance in his expression could not be concealed. Anyway, he did not give a chance to be surrounded, which can be said to be very cunning.
I wanted to catch him unawares and kill him, but the opponent was so vigilant that he could only attack by force. But if the force of the attack was not small, who knows if there are still their people around here. Chang Yu was confused when the few people stood up with a cheer: "It's almost time now. We have to go back to the city to take a break. Please take your leave." As he spoke, his hands were holding the handle of the knife.
How could they leave so easily since they were already suspicious? "Didn't you just say that you were going to come to this nest for a while? Why did you come back to the city so soon?" Wang Fuchen said and slowly drew out the knife with his hand behind his back. The man smiled and said: " I was preparing to go back to the city just now. When I saw someone here, I came to check it out. Since it’s one of my own, I won’t bother you!” As he spoke, he slowly backed away, with a look of caution on his face except for the words: Stop pretending. !
"Wait a minute," Chang Yu suddenly shouted, but instead of telling them to move slowly, he told Wang Fuchen and others not to take action yet, because they had already pulled out their knives and they might pounce on them in the next second.
"Zhang Wencong, right? I want to ask you about someone," Chang Yu said, staring closely at the leader.
"Brother, please tell me." The man remained alert.
"You just said that he is under the command of General Gao of Zhongying. I have a fellow countryman who is also under the command of General Gao. We came from Xi'an together a while ago, and he was transferred to Dali..." Chang Yu said slowly, and the man's face became nervous inadvertently. : "There are many soldiers and horses in Dali. Please tell me about it. I may not know it."
"His name is Yu Wenbao." Chang Yu seemed to be smiling but not smiling. Not only did the man's expression change, but the other four couldn't hide it anymore, and each showed a different expression that was difficult to observe.
"Never heard of it." The man shook his head, and Chang Yu murmured in his heart. Judging from their expressions, they clearly knew the meaning of the name, but why they didn't dare to admit it.
But at this moment, Fang Yuhai took a step forward: "I'm asking about a place. Have you heard of Yingying Yishuijian?"
You... Before Zhang Wenzong could speak, a person behind him couldn't help it, but quickly shut up.
"I've never heard of this place." Zhang Wenzong frowned, and Fang Yuhai refused to give up: "Bo Ya plays the drum and the harp."
As soon as these words came out, Zhang Wenzong couldn't bear it anymore: "You...aspire to the mountains, you, are you also a member of General Gao?"
Oh, let me go. Fang Yuhai was overjoyed and turned to Chang Yu and said: "The shopkeeper, they are our own people."
In fact, there was no need for him to say it at this time. Everyone already knew that these five people were actually spies for the officers and soldiers, and belonged to Li Yan's general Gao Qi.
Li Yan has two generals under his command, one is Qin Songwang and the other is Gao Qi.
The general name of the spy under his command is Yu Wenbao, Chuijian Silu, and this figure shows that he is one of his own.
Qin Songwang and Gao Qi each made incisions for their spies. Qin Songwang made incisions, and the green pine trees stood tall in the water. Some of Gao Qi's culture, Boya played the drum and harp, and his ambitions were high in the mountains.
Fang Yuhai was Qin Songwang's subordinate, but he also knew Gao Qi's secret code. When he saw Chang Yu interrogating them about their secrets, he knew that he suspected that he was one of his own, but the other party was defensive and refused to admit it, so he asked more deeply, and sure enough...
As for why they didn't dare to admit it just now, Zhang Wenzong said: "You guys are pretending to be too similar." They really thought that Chang Yu and his party were rebels. Even though they mentioned the incision, they didn't dare to admit that they thought it was from a prisoner's mouth. Until Fang Yuhai even asked It took two code cuts to confirm that it was one of our own.
"You are too awesome"! Zhang Wenzong and the other five people were in admiration of Chang Yu and his party. Ten or twenty people ran rampant under the eyes of the bandit army, full of lies and acted more like the bandit army than the real bandit army.
As for them, they were originally a group of six people crossing the river to conduct reconnaissance information. They dug into a hole in the hidden forest around Dali, but unfortunately one of them died in the battle. Now they are preparing to return to Hedong, but they find that they can't get out at all. The entire Yellow River coast is sealed to death. Not even a fly could fly out. Zhang Wenzong shook his head in frustration.
"It's just dark under the lamp. There are thousands of soldiers and horses in Dali City. There is also a military camp in the north of the city. Patrol teams, spies, and eyeliners are all around..." However, because it was too dense, they felt that the officers and soldiers could not infiltrate, and they were psychologically paralyzed. The investigation was not so strict, but going further east, especially the area of more than ten miles along the Yellow River, it would be difficult to move at all!
Because it is a military-controlled area where the two armies are confronting each other, anyone entering or leaving will be strictly investigated and even killed by Ning Cuo!
Therefore, it is impossible to go out in such a big way. We have to take two wings, Hancheng in the north or Tongguan in the south. It is safer to take a roundabout way in the mountains.
This is Zhang Wenzong’s suggestion.
But Chang Yu shook his head like a rattle. He didn't want to be trapped in the mountain anymore. Enough was enough! He would rather fight his way out in a bloody battle!
"Yes, fight out!" Kuang Ren's eyes lit up: "We are only a hundred miles away from the bank of the Yellow River. Let's recharge our batteries and continue fishing in troubled waters. Even if the bandit army sees through them, they are a group of only more than ten people and they will definitely not be able to stop us. We, even if we mobilize our troops at short notice, there will be no time to surround us, because we can just run eastward, and we can reach the Yellow River in one day at most."
Everyone thought it was reasonable. There is no better way than this at the moment. There is no need to reconnoiter any information anyway. Just run away for more than a hundred miles and kill anyone who blocks the road. As long as you don't encounter someone above. They are not afraid of a team of hundreds or dozens of people! And even if you encounter hundreds of thieves, they may not all be cavalry, and the infantry will not be able to catch up with them.
More importantly, Chang Yu's nine men came out of the mountain from Heyang and fought all the way to Pucheng. They even took down a guard post next to the military camp. The rebel army was so angry that they must be captured and skinned. At this time, they did not know that they had escaped. Outside the circle, they might still be searching the mountains at Wulong Mountain. As for the patrolling thieves here, they would not have thought that a group of twenty or thirty people would be swaggering through the city. It would be a careful work of officers and soldiers.
But some people don’t want to!
Old Man Hui and his gang finally heard that something was wrong. Why did they read the code again? It belonged to General Gao and General Qin... After various performances on the way to the union, they suddenly realized that these were not tomb robbers. They belonged to the officers and soldiers. Work carefully!
Are you kidding me? It would be fine if they were really robbing tombs or fighting for their own good, but once officers and soldiers are involved, their nature changes and they become desperadoes licking blood with their swords. This is not their profession. This kind of You have a life to earn money, but you have no life to spend it!
"You are unwilling and don't force it." Chang Yu looked at Old Man Hui and said, "Actually, I'm just borrowing your people for cover. It's still more than a hundred miles away from the Yellow River. If you go with me, I'll pay you five more when you come back." I've given you ten taels of silver and these horses, if you don't want to, just go back!"
